Homemade Sand Blaster

I'm wanting to do some bodywork/painting on my old '86 Silverado, and
was thinking about building a (for my use only) sandblaster.
Does anyone know of a site that walks one through building their own...

For the cost of building one, you can probably buy one.

All you need is the air compressor

I'm just sick of all the cheap shit that breaks or half-arse works after
30 to 60 days (or from the beginning)... so thought I'd make one from
HQ/heavy-duty stuff.
Thinking about using a 55 gal. drum (or smaller) to hold the sand, and
just get the nozzles, hoses, etc., as they give out.
I really appreciate all the responses, thanks for the help folks!

If it is a syphoin feed you could. If it is pressure pot style you cant.
If you want some good quaility stuff go look around on ebay, or go to
local equpiment auctions. My Landlord has a Snadblasting buiness and
other then Media & Tips all this equpiment has came from auctions.
